Book Description
Cherish: Behold, I Knock continues the story begun in Cherish: A Still, Small Call about Reverend Andy Garrett, his family, his friends, and the working of God in a rural community called Cherish. This is Andys first church, and even though Andy is from the suburbs of Chicago and knows little about farm country, he and his wife, Abbey, grow close to the flock they serve. It is a church that knows how to deal with bats in the sanctuary, a deaf substitute pianist, and a wild-haired and poetic church secretary. Andy finds out what happens when the water of the baptistry boils over the night before a baptism, and he learns how his unchurched, bartending background can be used by God to change the life of a drug-addicted teen. Most of all, Andy finds an opportunity to share with his parents the love of God and the truth of Christs redemption. It is dramatic and remarkable how God finally works to draw them to himself.

Book Description
When a mysterious boy arrives at her bedside, a despairing young accident victim resents his intrusion. Twelve-year-old Cricket Dalton is convinced her life is over. What good is living if you can’t move or feel anything below your neck? And, worse yet, you’ve been relegated indefinitely to a dreary nursing home. The mysterious Josh makes Cricket talk, and he nearly force-feeds her pancakes to get her to eat. Then, one day, Josh introduces Cricket to his magic onyx stones. With one click of the stones, the two of them fly to a city on an unknown planet. There, Cricket and Josh are forced to escape from a heartless crowd. As they flee, they encounter other people in hiding—people who survive on nightly dumpster raids and a promise that one day a savior will come for them. Their plight reminds Cricket of Biblical End Times’ prophecies on Earth, but their future seems more hopeless. Cricket’s heart breaks for the little children trapped in the sunless underground labyrinth, and she and Josh devise a way to bring them food. With every visit, Cricket criticizes their God as having abandoned them. But, little by little, through the fugitives’ stories of past persecution and rescue, the underground people convince her that hope does exist. They convince Cricket that the timeline of the prophecies indicates their rescue is near--to be preceded by a massive earthquake that will either bury or deliver them. Back at the nursing home, other changes are taking place. A new black nurse becomes Cricket’s staunch defender and champion. A misguided nursing home director has taken extreme measures to uncover why, some mornings, Cricket’s gown and bed socks indicate she has been walking. “Is your paralysis a sham, Missy?” the woman challenges. How can Cricket explain about the onyx-stone adventures and how, while on them, she can, indeed, walk? Surely, no one would believe her. But the new nurse, Marlene Grace, takes a chance. And Marlene Grace’s dedication and love promise to make Cricket’s quadriplegic life full and blessed. That promise is threatened, however, when, on a startling trip back to the planet, Cricket and Josh join their underground friends in a panicked race to escape the collapse of the labyrinth. The earthquake has begun . . .

Book Description
Peter drives the bus, and Judas pays for the gas. We follow close behind in our cars to wherever Jesus stops. Like twelve sermon illustrations, the juxtaposition from New Testament times to our modern day puts us at the feet of Jesus. His Timeless Touch captures Jesus’s touch on twelve individual lives. Each story draws on biblical accounts with tenderness and insight. Here are examples: Wonder as Jesus texts reporters hounding a seductress and her partner. Share a blind man’s dreams come true. Commiserate with a height-challenged man who takes revenge. Get a mother-in-law’s opinion. Cry with the mother of a sex-trafficked girl whose demons are cast out. Follow a cyber thief to repentance and a promise of paradise. No character who is touched by Jesus remains unchanged. Every encounter proclaims him to be the Son of God and leads to worship—even today!

Book Description
Like Abraham leaving the land of Ur, Andy Garrett hears a still, small voice and feels compelled to leave his bartending job to embark on an unexpected journey. The strange part is that he doesnt yet know the God who has spoken, and he cant quite explain to friends and family why he is so radically changing his course.

At the college, feel his joy when he meets the Lord again this time with a real introduction. And meet Abbey, the lovely woman who seems to understand the call God has placed on him. Take the journey to Cherish, and youll come to love the Lord, the place, and the people as much as Andy and Abbey do. Smile, cry, and be inspired as the young Garretts embrace and are embraced by the little First Baptist Church. Follow, too, their loving attempts to redeem the past. Every day is filled with learning and love. Who knows? You may find that Cherish the book and Cherish the town change you, too.
